Ayurveda: A boon to deal with the Sexual Disorders

Ayurveda, the science of life, prevention and longevity, is the oldest organized Indian medical system. It is frequently referred as ‘Ashtanga Ayurveda’ as it has eight parts, as follows:

Vajikarana or Vrishya Chikitsa: Science of aphrodisiacs, virility and improving health of progeny

The 8th part deals with Sexual Concerns: In Sanskrit, Vaji means horse, the symbol of sexual potency and performance thus Vajikaran means producing a horse’s vigor, particularly the animal’s great capacity for sexual activity in the individual.

Literally the Vajikaran is not exactly aphrodisiac but the current connotational meaning is same.The man who seeks pleasure should resort to Vajikaran therapy regularly. The Vajikaran bestows contentment, nourishment, continuity of progeny and great happiness.

The medicines or therapy by which the man becomes capable of sexual intercourse with the woman with great strength like a horse, which endears him to women and which nourishes the body of the person is known as Vajikaran. It is best promoter of strength and vigor.The main aim of Vajikaran is always successful copulation for healthy reproduction with sexual pleasure being just an additional benefit.

However, this therapy is also described under various sexual and reproductive disease i.e., Klaibya or Erectile dysfunctions, Bandhyatva or Infertility, Shukraghata Vata or azospermia and premature ejaculationVajikaran chikitsa requires living in strict compliance to the directions mentioned in Ayurvedic classics. It involves various methods of shodhan (body cleansing) through vaman (emesis), virechan (purgation) and swedan (sweating).

After the Shodhan therapy, based on the prakriti of the individual’s imbalance (doshic body constitution-Tridosha theory), certain herbal and herbo-mineral combinations are administered. Other components in the therapy involves improving health and pleasure in general like, massaging with medicated herbal oils and herbal baths, wearing of fragrant garlands, anointing the body with fragrant herbal pastes, listening to music, etc.

Vajikaran therapy revitalizes body elements, therefore, restores equilibrium and health. As per the concept of Ayurveda, it offers a solution to minimize the shukra (sperm and ovum) defects to ensure a healthy progeny.

Note: Vajikaran therapy is not recommended for the the person below 17 years and more than 70 years of age. Every couple should enjoy a healthy sex life since it’s an important part of such relationship.
